(CBR) By now, it”s just a matter of time before Fox officially announces Channing Tatum as Gambit, a role the actor has said he”s dying to play. Now he”s speaking out once again, making it clear he”s not only interested in playing Gambit, but he wants to play him in a standalone film – not merely as part of an ensemble film like, say, “X-Men: Apocalypse.”

“We”ve talked about it being a standalone, first, and actually trying to change the ‘hero” superhero movie,” Tatum told MTV. “Because Gambit is not your typical hero. He”s a thief. He walks on the gray. I”m hoping we can change it a little bit, and then ultimately feather into the other ones.”

For now, however, everything having to do with Gambit and Tatum is nothing more than a dream that may or may not (but probably will) come true.

He’s a thief, huh? I wonder if Fox’ll fire the director a month before filming starts because they have problems with the “core morality of the piece”. God, that was such bullshit. Sorry, this is not about Ant-Man… I never cared much for Gambit, but if they make a good film, maybe I’ll start.

Yes, Remy is part of the LeBeau thieves guild in the bayous of Louisiana. Donald Trump please do something useful and cannibalize FOX corporation and sell it to someone who has better vision and life…. say like Helen Keller or Ray Charles. Maybe he can pull a cameo off, but a independent movie I would have to go the hospital for dehydration from puking my guts out.
